The tartan whine

Once upon a time in a far away land a sweet baby was born. But this baby was no ordinary baby it was the first of its kind... it was a tartan baby! It was red it was blue it was green and white and everyone wanted to see this weird and wonderful sight. The baby was beautiful but cried all of the time and its parents, Mr and Mrs Tart soon found something to stop it whine.

They found that their baby loved playing the bagpipes all of the time and if it didn’t have them it would whine and whine. Day and night it would play the bagpipes and its parents soon got tired of the racket.

One day while their baby was having a nap, the parents took their baby’s bagpipes and replaced them with a bagpipe shaped pillow. When the tartan baby woke it didn’t notice that its bagpipes were gone and started to play the bagpipes on the pillow.

One year later, on a sunny morning when Mr and Mrs Tart’s baby was playing its bagpipe shaped pillow as hard as ever, they welcomed a new arrival to the house. It was a baby!!! this baby was no ordinary baby it was the first of its kind... it was a cow spotted baby!!!
